La Chapelle de la Mission Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 2000

$16999

La Chapelle is the second wine of La Mission Haut-Brion, one of the legendary Pessac-Léognan estates that sits across the road from Haut-Brion itself. The 2000 vintage was hailed from the start as one of the great modern Bordeaux years, and a quarter-century on, this bottling is sitting squarely in its drinking window. The youthful blue fruit and graphite of the early days has given way to a fleshier, more evolved, more complex wine with silky tannins and that classic Graves whiff of smoky barbecue. A chance to drink a great Pessac second wine at maturity.

Robert Parker

90 points

"A beautiful, soft, richly fruity wine with silky tannins, loads of blue fruits, and hints of smoky barbecue and graphite, the 2000 La Chapelle de La Mission is fleshy, evolved, and complex, a top-notch success that gets a slight upgrade from my original review. Drink it over the next 5-10 years." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Wine Spectator

90 points

"Tight and solid, with tobacco, berry, chocolate and vanilla throughout. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a delicious finish. Best after 2008."
